Hopefully the Republicans win the White House in 2016 and hold both houses.

The 30 years Dems dominate government after that because republicans alienated seniors and Hispanics with their reforms would be fun.

Cannot believe Romney is going to run again.

I'd love to see a good NotObama alternative, but the GOP ain't showing much. You could cobble a good candidate together if you take a little bit of Rand Paul, Scott Walker, and Jeb. GOP needs alchemy. As long as they depend on God, Guns, and Gay-bashing, it's going to be a party in decline outside the red states.

Gold is the end product of alchemy; so he didn't forget it, he just didn't make it yet.

looks like house republicans are very active so far in passing legislation. Too bad none of it will become law bitches.

Very good at simultaneously doing nothing while also passing legislation!

They are passing things for the hell of it and to make themselves look good.

Evidently, they are not making themselves look good. Quite the conundrum!

I used to have one of those. I had it next to my octobans.

The euro is crashing next to the swiss franc. People are moving money to take advantage. Someone is getting really rich and someone is getting really poor (or a whole bunch of people are getting a little poor).

Monetary policy is a hell of a thing

Interesting. Thanks for posting. That's a better explanation than what I was hearing at the lunch tables.

When we got here, the swiss franc was so high that we were making 1/3 more than what we were making a few days ago. With this move, my pay effectively just went up significantly. It's a good time to travel (for me, but visits here would be very expensive).

Was there a change in leadership in the White House administration or something?

I feel like the past 3 months has seen more substantive action from Obama than the other 21 months of his second term.
